Affordable 2013 Super Bowl tickets

NFL teams head into the final week of regular season play this weekend before what promises to be an exciting playoff season begins.

NFL teams head into the final week of regular season play this weekend before what promises to be an exciting playoff season begins. While diehard fans scurry for Super Bowl tickets, teams are beginning to make their final strategic moves to try and get one more win before the season wraps up.

If coaches of teams like the Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons, and Seattle Seahawks are paying attention, history can tell a lot about how to handle the final game before the postseason. In the last ten years, only two championship teams have lost their final game of the year. In other words, if teams want to lift the Vince Lombardi trophy high, they have to go all out in their final matchup on the gridiron.

A lot of that wisdom comes from the need for momentum in the brutal, winner-takes-all battles of the postseason. Teams who have fought hard to the end tend to not give up under the pressure of facing tough opponents. In the entire history of the NFL, which includes forty championship games, only nine teams have lost their final regular season game. The 2007-2008 NewYork Giants are a great example of a team that lost their final game but still gained the momentum to win the big final game. Their final regular season loss was against the New England Patriots, the team they would meet in the championship game. The Giants lost by a single field goal, and the tough loss propelled them to fight hard when the two teams met again in the big game.

As week seventeen rolls around, coaches would be wise to fire up their teams for one last battle before striving for the Lombardi trophy. Football isn't about coasting, and all eyes will be on the contenders during their last game to see if they have what it takes to win it all this season.
